PATENT FFICE.

WILLIAM G. BEYERLY, OF PORTSMOUTH, OHIO.

ROAD-SCRAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,359, dated August 8, 1882,

Application filed March 15, 1881.

(No model.)

' this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved road-scraper. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 is a plan showing the mannor of uniting the body and sides of the scraper with the back.

A represents the scraper, which is con vex or rounded on its under surface. The body and sides of the scraper are provided at the rear end with flanges a a a, separated by V-shaped notches, so that when struck up in proper position they will atford a firm support for the back B, which is securely attached thereto by means of suitable belts or rivets.

To the sides of the scraper are attached the handles 0 O, which enter loops or staples c c,

that are secured thereto by means of nuts I) b on the inner surface.

A bail, l), is attached to the forward end of the scraper in the usual manner.

By formingthe bodyand sides of thescraper with flanges for the attachment of the back, and securing the parts by means of bolts or rivets, as described, their construction is rendered more simple as well as durable. The body of the scraper is made of steel, and the back maybe formed either of metal or hard wood, as desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An earth-scraper consisting of the bowl A, having flanges a at the bottom and sides separated by V-shaped notches, and the back B, which is riveted thereto, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed mysiguature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM G. BEYERLY.
